In August 2021, the Company received clearance from Brazil’s ANVISA to commence its Phase 3 trial for severe COVID-19 patients. The trial will be conducted in up to 35 clinical sites with 612 patients. The first patient was treated in this trial in September 2021.
● In September 2021, the Company received clearance from Brazil’s ANVISA to commence its pivotal Phase 3 trial in critically ill COVID-19 patients. The trial will be conducted in up to 22 clinical sites with 316 patients. The first patient was treated in this trial in October 2021.
● In December 2021, Brazil’s ANVISA agreed to modify the Phase 3 trial for critically ill COVID-19 patients to require a total patient enrollment of 126 patients instead of the previously approved 316 patients and allow for interim efficacy analysis after 51 patients have been treated for 27 days.
● In December 2021, the Company submitted a protocol to the FDA for a Phase 3 trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of leronlimab in combination with standard of care for critically ill patients with COVID-19 pneumonia with the need for invasive mechanical ventilation or Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation. In this trial, up to four weekly 700 mg doses of leronlimab will be administered by intravenous infusion. This trial was designed based on a subgroup analysis of 62 critically ill patients from the Company’s previously completed COVID-19 clinical trial. The FDA has accepted the trial design. The Company is currently finalizing the protocol and will then submit it to the FDA and an Institutional Review Board (“IRB”) for final approval before initiation of the trial.
● As of January 6, 2022, the Brazilian Phase 3 trials for severe and critically ill COVID-19 patients had enrolled 38 and 6 patients, respectively.
